In Northern California's Shasta County, where hard-right politicians are in control, the damage from lies about the trustworthiness of voting machines is playing out with real-world consequences.
MyPillow guy Mike Lindell, known as much for his voter fraud conspiracy theories as for his two-for-one deals on bedding, has something to sell California.
“Hand-counting of ballots is less accurate because humans make more mistakes than machines,” Hasen said. “Scanned ballots are the gold standard.” Never mind that a host of actual election and cybersecurity experts have repeatedly investigated and found baseless the claims by election deniers that Dominion’s machines are corrupt tools that threw votes from Trump to Biden, or that voting machines in general are unsafe.
What is more concerning is what it means when Lindell’s shtick tumbles line for line from the mouth of a local government official who can affect the front lines of American voting. “We are going to lose this county. It is going to collapse,” she said of this new leadership that seems to be dismantling government from the inside. “I am in a state of grief.”Column: Extremists are set to take over this California county. Will more of the state be next?
